Sleepless in Streator
I have a problem sleeping some times. Usually I get up and log on to the Quilting Board. But I was cutting out some blocks yesterday and was interrupted. Woke up about 1am and couldn't remember how many more I needed, so I went down to my sewing room and started counting. I felt more relaxed and then went back to bed and slept great. When I told my friend about it, she asked if I ever tried counting sheep? I
I told her they never crossed my mind.

I doubt it was the "counting" that put you to sleep.
More likely, it was that once you did the counting, you were no longer "thinking" about how many there were to do.
I find that if I have something on my mind or I'm thinking of something I "must" do in the morning, I might as well deal with it, or else, I'll lay awake thinking about it. So when I go to bed, I try to have those things done ... and can go off to sleep.

I read before falling asleep, too. And these days once I put that CPAP mask on my nose, I'm usually going to be gone in a very short while! Years ago I used to get up and iron clothing, which I hated; bored me so much I went right back to sleep when I finally stopped, LOL!
